Domain Adaptive Learning with Multi-Granularity Features for Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Abstract

Unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to improve the model’s scalability and obtain better Re-ID results in the unlabeled data domain. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised person Re-ID method based on multi-granularity feature representation and domain adaptive learning, which can effectively improve the performance of unsupervised person re-identification. The multi-granularity feature extraction module integrates global and local information of different granularity to obtain the multi-granularity person feature representation with rich discriminative information. The source domain classification module learns the labeled source dataset classification and obtains the person’s discriminative knowledge in the source domain. On this basis, the domain adaptive module further considers the difference between the target domain and the source domain to learn adaptively for the model. Experiments on multiple public datasets show that the proposed method can achieve a competitive performance among other state-of-the-art unsupervised Re-ID methods.
